Maurice
E.M. Forster · Edward Arnold (London) · 1971
Posthumous first. The English edition, Edward Arnold (London), 1971, is conventionally taken as the true first; the first American edition, W.W. Norton (New York), 1971, followed and is near-simultaneous. Both are collected, and cataloguers differ on the Kirkpatrick sub-letter (A39a vs A39b), but the London Arnold issue holds precedence by convention.
